Book no 1 from my #10beforetheend picks.

This was gearing up to be a pick but I found a couple of the latter chapters sketchy and sadly lacking. Still enjoyed the earlier chapters on media moguls which is clearly where O'Brien has the most knowledge and experience

@ChaoticMissAdventures

Cuilin I don‘t know much about him but I‘ve seen him push callers on his show to answer questions. I think he‘s got good journalistic integrity. He also doesn‘t let politicians get away with not answering the question. If only all journalists did this. 3mo
Balibee146 @Cuilin yeah he has done some good work holding politicians feet to the fire... Though my fab is still Eddie "you're a nasty price of work aren't you?" Mair.I have more of a ? around O'Brien after he remained pretty silent during the Sangita Myska situation at LBC.. But there was a lot to like here. 3mo
Balibee146 Typo hell lol *fav and also *nasty piece of work... 3mo

Luke-XVX He‘s well informed but so bloody smug at times.I did enjoy him trashing Farage on air recently, I laughed my arse off 3mo
Balibee146 @Luke-XVX there's a transcript in the book of an old clash between him and Farage which is rather satisfying. 3mo
Luke-XVX That‘ll do it!! 3mo

Starting a bit of non fiction... Not expecting any new revelations I wasn't aware of but sure having it synthesised into one place is going to get me #raging

Part of my #10beforetheend list so I may be a little early but wanting some non fiction on #kindle today, as it is so dark and dreary here today.

@ChaoticMissAdventures

ChaoticMissAdventures Dark money and politics, seems to be happening so many places, that and old politicians who refuse to give up power. This sounds interesting! Good job getting a jump start. 4mo

For me, Ali Smith's books try too hard to be too many things, making each aspect feel dilute.

There are moments of genius throughout Autumn, but the structure is so ad hoc, that we lose impact.

We have a neighbourly love story, some unsubtle thoughts about Brexit and bureaucracy that resonate (albeit in a heavy-handed way), and some info about Pauline Boty.

All very interesting, but the lack of cohesiveness in the narrative frustrated me.

New video now live! 🥰🥰 Thank you to everyone who supports my channel / enjoys my vids.

Today's vid is 30 mins of me discussing what books are on my Autumn TBR. There's no way I'm going to get round to all these, so let me know in the comments if there are any that I need to prioritise 😁

I'll post Illumicrate unboxing for the month next. Pickles heavily featured (but not helpful!) 🤣🤣

I am not a fan of the Johnson family but a friend gave me this to read and I felt I had to at least try and read it ! I then found myself in a position where I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn‘t put it down ! I was not expecting that …. It‘s sort of a spoof on the 2016 Brexit referendum, Russian involvement and USA presidential election - very close to the bone at times and fascinating reading .

She likes to read, she reads all the time, and she prefers to be reading several things at once, she says it gives endless perspective and dimension.
